This episode of the series "Pursuit" looks at life inside the Minnesota State Reformatory in St. Cloud. It is the first of a two-part Pursuit series about crime and punishment. The program includes interviews with protestant chaplain Reverend William Schultz, Catholic chaplain Father Peter St. Hilaire, and Associate Superintendent Dr. M.R. Moran and features footage of prison cells and cellblocks, wives and families visiting with inmates, and "the hole," where prisoners undergoing solitary confinement are kept. Topics discussed include the profound loneliness experienced by prisoners, inmates' family problems, and the hobbies, crafts, evening school and other productive activities inmates engage in.
